Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for separation of chlorophyll and soluble proteins, such as rubisco, using silicates.
- the present invention relates to a method for separation of chlorophyll and soluble proteins, such as rubisco, using soluble silicates, and chlorophyll and protein products produced using such methods.
- Chlorophyll is present in high concentrations in the cellular organelles that allows for organisms to produce their own energy through photosynthesis. All plants and several different types of microorganisms go through photosynthesis. Algae is a broad term that includes several different types of photosynthetic microorganisms, and there are several different types of chlorophyll present in algae.
- Chlorophyll a is found in all organisms that photosynthesize, including algae and photosynthesizing bacteria. Chlorophyll a is a green pigment, which is what gives plants and many algae their natural green color.
- Chlorophyll b is a green chlorophyll pigment found in plants and green algae. Chlorophyll b augments chlorophyll a's ability to capture sunlight. Green algae is a broad, informal classification of organisms that includes both Kingdom Monera (single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus) and Kingdom Protista (more complex single-celled organisms that do have a nucleus) . Green algae are the most common organisms found in fresh water and the ocean, and they are a major supplier of oxygen, which is produced during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll c occurs in certain types of algae, including dinoflagellates. Chlorophyll c is a reddish-brown pigment and gives dinoflagellates their distinctive color.
- Chlorophyll is an essential compound in many everyday products. It is used not only as an additive in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products but also as a natural food colouring agent. Additionally, it has been reported to have antioxidant and antimutagenic properties.
- chlorophylls In green plants, the majority of chlorophylls are attached by non-covalent bonds to protein existing in the form of chlorophyll-protein complexes, including photosystem I (PS I), photosystem II (PS II), and Cytb6/f complexes. All of chlorophyll-protein complexes are located in the electron transport chain of the thylakoid membrane.
- Leaf and grass proteins are potentially the cheapest and most abundant source of protein in the world. They are also highly nutritious and have many desirable functional characteristics which could make them useful in both food and industrial products. It is well known that soluble leaf proteins are found in all known chlorophyll-containing plants.
- the present invention pertains to soluble leaf and grass proteins. Approximately half of the soluble protein in plant leaves is made up of "rubisco” (ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase or "RuBisCO").
- RuBisCO molecules are found densely packed within chloroplast stroma at concentrations up to 300 mg/mL.
- the oligomeric protein (MW 550,000) is composed of eight large and eight small subunits which combine to form a compact, nearly spherical molecule.
- Rubisco which is found in all known green plants, appears to be the most abundant leaf protein, and it may be the most abundant protein on earth. Rubisco is the enzyme which catalyzes both the carboxylation and oxygenation of RUBP in plants, i.e., the key reactions in photosynthesis and photorespiration. Rubisco has nutritional value comparable to casein.
- rubisco has a significantly higher Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER, i.e., weight gained/protein consumed) than either casein or egg protein.
- PER Protein Efficiency Ratio
- Rubisco also has excellent binding, gelling, foaming, whipping and emulsifying characteristics.
- highly purified rubisco is furthermore colourless, tasteless and odourless, which makes it attractive for incorporation into food or industrial products.
- rubisco may prove suitable for incorporation into a range of both food and non-food products for such purposes as a nutritional supplement, binding agent or emulsifier.
- Leaf proteins have been the target for commercial development and production as nutritional and functional products for human food application for more than half a century.
- the protein extraction methods developed have either resulted in green protein preparations which have an odour, taste and texture rendering them undesirable for human consumption at least in part due to inadequate removal of chlorophylls, or they have not been commercially viable due to high losses of protein and functionality or high cost processing steps have been applied.
- Proteins may be precipitated by adding various agents such as organic solvents, lyotropic salts (such as ammonium sulfate) or polymers of different kind.
- lyotropic salts such as ammonium sulfate
- Many food proteins are isolated from plant extracts (such as aqueous extracts of soy beans and peas) by so-called isoelectric precipitation which is based on the natural tendency of some proteins to become insoluble at pH values where the protein surface exhibits a near zero net charge. Isoelectric precipitation of proteins is generally a very low-cost operation. However, the method has limitations due to a rather low selectivity, co-precipitation of other unwanted substances and a narrow window of operation.
- a major drawback of the isoelectric precipitation method is that it is difficult to remove the co-precipitated impurities by washing of the precipitated proteins because any change of the conditions (such as pH, temperature and ionic strength) may lead to solubilization and loss of the protein.
- Another major drawback of the isoelectric precipitation method is that only certain proteins will precipitate, leaving significant amounts of otherwise valuable proteins in the mother liquid and thereby lead to economic losses and environmental burdens from the associated waste water.
- Precipitation of proteins by the addition of chemical substances such as organic solvents, lyotropic salts and polymers is not generally applied for the industrial separation of food and feed grade proteins due to the high costs associated with the chemicals, the high costs of chemicals recycling and treatment of waste water and the need to completely remove these chemicals from the product after the precipitation process.
- Precipitation of proteins from aqueous solutions may also be performed by the application of heat, such as heating to 110-130 degrees Celsius under increased pressure, or by heating combined with adjustment of pH to highly acidic pH values.
- heat such as heating to 110-130 degrees Celsius under increased pressure, or by heating combined with adjustment of pH to highly acidic pH values.
- Such processes are industrially applied, for example in order to precipitate potato proteins from potato fruit juice produced as a side-stream in the potato starch manufacturing industry. Such processes may be highly efficient; however, the proteins will be completely denatured by the process conditions. Typically, such treated proteins will be largely insoluble and any biological activity and functional characteristics will be lost.
- the separation of chlorophyll from plant proteins have also been attempted by the application of heat treatment, however, even at the lower temperatures efficient for the separation a significant yield loss of proteins appears.
- Membrane filtration is another widely and industrially used method for the isolation and concentration of proteins from complex mixtures.
- the fundamental separation principle is based on the passing of the liquid through semi-permeable membranes allowing only the passage of molecules smaller than the size of the porous structure of the membrane.
- membrane filtration separates molecules largely on the basis of their size and the availability of membranes with different pore sizes enables the separation of molecules and particles of varying size ranges.
- the molecules to be separated must have very different sizes (such as at least 10 times different size). Molecules being closer in size will only be partially separated which may be detrimental to the product yield and thereby the economy of the separation process.
- Solid phase adsorption is based on the reversible interaction of molecules in a solution with the surface structures of an insoluble adsorbent material .
- Silica gels in the form of silicon dioxide beads or coarse granules, constitute a specific type of solid phase adsorbents that may be produced with varying pore size and available surface area.
- Agarose beads and synthetic polymer beads constitute other groups of solid phase adsorbents with different characteristics for different protein separation tasks.
- the surface of the insoluble adsorbent material may be chemically derivatized to facilitate interaction with molecules of widely different nature and can be designed to achieve highly selective separation of even closely related molecules. Thus, solid phase adsorption is widely applied in the manufacture of proteins for pharmaceutical applications.
- chlorophyll containing fractions may have a rich nutritional profile (e.g. insoluble proteins, dietary fibres, minerals and secondary metabolites) and consist of complex biological structures (e.g. chloroplastic membranes) that may be used as raw materials for valuable products if mild processing steps, avoiding denaturation and break down, are applied.
- a rich nutritional profile e.g. insoluble proteins, dietary fibres, minerals and secondary metabolites
- complex biological structures e.g. chloroplastic membranes
- the present invention relates to a method for separating soluble proteins from chlorophyll in an aqueous protein solution comprising said protein and chlorophyll, the method comprising ; a. providing an aqueous solution containing soluble protein and chlorophyll b. adding a water-soluble silicate to the solution of step a) such that the total concentration of silicon in the form of free or complexed silicates in the solution is in the range of 1-500 mM, such as 2-300 mM, such as 3-200 mM, such as 3.5-100 mM, such as 4-60 mM, such as 4-50 mM, such as 5-30 mM c.
- adjusting the pH of the resulting solution to a pH in the range of pH 5 to pH 11, such a pH in the range of pH 5.5 to pH 10, such a pH in the range of pH 6.0 to pH 9.5, such a pH in the range of pH 6.2 to pH 9.0, such a pH in the range of pH 6.5 to pH 8.5, such as a pH in the range of pH 6.0 to pH 7.5 d.
- allowing the silicate to form an insoluble precipitate comprising silicate- chlorophyll complexes, while the soluble protein remains soluble in the solution e.
- silicate-chlorophyll complexes from the protein solution as a wet precipitate; such as a wet cake or an aqueous suspension of the precipitate, f. optionally washing the silicate-chlorophyll complexes, g. optionally separating the chlorophyll from the silicate, h. optionally isolating the protein from the protein solution obtained in step e), thereby obtaining the protein and chlorophyll in separated fractions.
- Figures 1-2 show SDS-PAGE analyses of the various solutions of examples 1-3.
- chlororophyll means any of several related green pigments in free or complexed form found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants.
- anionic compound means a compound that comprise a negatively charged moiety at a pH in the range of pH 3 to pH 13.
- dry weight means the weight or mass of a substance remaining after removal of water by heating to constant weight at 110 degrees Celcius. The dry weight per ml sample is thus the weight or mass of a substance remaining after removal of water by heating to constant weight at 110 degrees Celcius per ml sample applied to drying.
- the term “isolating” or “separating” means any human intervention which change the relative amount of the compound compared to another selected constituent in a given matrix to a higher relative amount of the compound relative to the other constituent.
- the compound may be isolated into a pure or substantially pure form.
